Synopsis

Set a place at the Regency dining table and recreate dishes associated with Austen’s much-loved fictional worlds, in a collection by Sunday Times bestselling food writer Pen Vogler. Drawing on authentic recipes from the period, each is updated for modern cooks and revisits material from the author’s earlier book, Dinner with Mr Darcy, with renewed attention on the dinner parties that appear in the novels.

Menus range from Mrs Bennet’s Dinner to Impress from Pride & Prejudice to an old-fashioned supper for Mr Woodhouse and his guests from Emma, alongside Christmas with the Musgroves from Persuasion. Recipes span lighter options such as fresh pea soup, baked sole and everlasting syllabub, through to roast leg of mutton stuffed with oysters and buttered apple tart, with original versions included for comparison.
